Competent Search firms welcomed the opportunity to make a personal presentation regarding its services to any member board of education that anticipates a search. There is never a cost for this presentation from IASB. A personal presentation will allow the board to explore a variety of options (or levels of service) for the search. A superintendent search, by its very nature, is an individualized effort, customized to fit the needs of a particular district. |
